Sandhya Sharma Says No to Bigg Boss 7

On September 2, Sandhya confirmed that she will not be participating in Bigg Boss 7 due to her busy schedule.

Speaking to the media, Sandhya Sharma said, "I would have loved to be on Bigg Boss 7 as it is a very popular show with a huge audience, however, my prior commitments and present shooting schedule does not permit me any time off. I am completely booked till 15 January, 2014, and the production house Vrindaavan Films, in which I have signed three film contract, cannot give me even 15 days off for any other assignments."

Sandhya said that she will be busy during Diwali, Navratri and New Years' Eve. Hence, she had to turn down the Bigg Boss 7 offer. She also said that it was a very tempting and a tough decision for her. "I hope I can be on the show next year in Season 8 or make a guest appearance on the show this year for just a couple of days," Sandhya added.

Currently, Sandhya is busy with untitled Telugu movie, which is scheduled its shoot in Ramoji Studios, Hyderabad.
